(Weatherford, Tx) – Parker County Prosecutors say 41-year-old Julio Cesar Leon of Weatherford, was sentenced to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to repeatedly molesting a girl over a period of 4 years.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, Leon was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a young child for engaging in various sexual acts with a girl when she was between 10 and 14 years old.  Leon is not eligible for parole and because he was in the U.S. illegally, he will be deported at the end of his prison sentence.
